“What is a “nut mafia”? Every year people buy nuts from entrepreneurs, private producers who sell. In our system, it is impossible to purely draw up the documents. So made that neither the grandmother who grows nuts, these will not be able to properly arrange the documents. And export licenses are not grandmothers, they have companies that come to the grandmothers. The documents at issue cannot, and they buy from grandmothers in cash these nuts. Then these nuts are trafficked abroad”, – told Saakashvili.

According to Saakashvili, the customs service operates a corrupt scheme for the export of Ukrainian nuts.

“Every year was created by a group of deputies, Sbushnikov, prosecutors, and said, I want to get the container of nuts? Each container 20 thousand dollars, 15 thousand dollars, 12 thousand dollars, depending on the crop, if he cleared, and in his pocket. And the state zero. And every year, all fought who would sit on this topic. We now took control of the customs, release the nuts honestly, let them pay to the budget”, – he said.
